7. Rezar

As sure as the bloody rain, WWE will take the one thing a performer has going for them - the only thing, in some cases - and surgically remove it.

This is why Aiden English, having already celebrated Rusev Day, is now *insanity intensifies as the gears of Vince's mind spin, settling on* a commentator on 205 Live. Rezar has a tag team partner, but not at present: Akam remains on the shelf with a moderately serious knee injury. Scheduled to return just ahead of or after WrestleMania, by which time Vince will have forgotten that he exists, that is pretty much it for him.

Rezar already bears a monosyllabic name, but it just ain't Vince if there's no profoundly unnecessary tinkering involved, so met Rez - geographically nicknamed the Albanian Abomination. His limited promo skills will see the newly-renamed Drake resume his role as manager, but only for three weeks, at the end of which Rez will beat him down. Rez, you see, will blame Drake for his own failures. Unleashing the pent-up rage that comes with losing via roll-up to Kalisto on consecutive episodes of RAW, Drake pisses his pants in the middle of the ring.

With the weak link removed from his armour, Rez runs rampant through Main Event.
